Paper Requirements

3) Budget – a easy to follow budget table that has at a minimum: MW, # of equivalents, and amount required for each step, name of chemical, CAS #, Vendor, Catalog #, unit price, extended price, and quantity of item purchased.

4) Cost analysis – A paragraph that looks at the various ways to synthesize your target and determines which would be the most practical

Other Information

1) In groups of 2 to 3…each provide unique synthesis of 2-5 steps, provide a joint/common concluding paragraph that does a cost comparison analysis of each of the synthetic routes.

2) From your group choose a target from the provided list.

3) Max 2 pages + title page

4) Using SciFinder, provide a synthesis from commercially available material for your assigned compound.

5) Provide primary references for each of your steps in the form of an annotated bibliography.

6) Give a cost analysis for the materials you would need to make 1 g of product based on the reported yields for each step.

a. For some targets, 1 to 5 steps may be possible. If you find a shorter path from a commercially available source - Do a cost comparison for the two methods.

b. Maybe you can buy your compound, do a cost analyses.

7) Hyperlink references & supporting information if available

8) Acceptable Chemical vendor include, but not limited to…Alpha Aesor, Aldrich, AstaTech , Acros, TCI America, Fisher (Some chemicals may be regulated and a price/availability may not show. If so try other vendors)

9) In your synthesis, aim for a starting material that is <$500 for 10 g.
